movie review - Fantastic Four

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

This is a silly example of the self-indulgent genre of super-hero movies. Being as cookie-cutter as its kind can get, I found it not interesting and barely made it through it. I won't bother describing the plot, tonality, characters, dialog and so on, it's all just cringe-worthy and/or dull. (How do they keep getting Doctor Doom so wrong.)

I wonder if the fact that there are four of them is the problem. Isn't this kind of gang usually a five-man operation? G-Force, Power Rangers... I guess there are only four teenage mutant ninja turtles.

Avoid.
